FOOD FOR THOUGHT. 

"Good management is better than a good income. 

Salt should be kept in a dry place. 

When industry goes out of the door, poverty comes in 
at the window. 

Who undertakes many things at once, seldom does any- 
thing well. 

Potatoes of medium size should be boiled until they can 
be pierced to the centre easily with a fork. 

A good fame is better than a good face. 

A man of words and not of deeds, 
Is like a garden full of weeds. 

A man can never thrive who has a wasteful wife. 

Milk keeps longer from souring in a shallow pan than in 
a pitcher. 

Don't overeat. Don't starve. Never despair. 

Spending your money with many a guest, empties the 
kitchen, the cellar and chest. 

A handful of common sense is worth a bushel of learning. 

Gold can buy nearly everything in this world, except 
that which a man wants most — happiness. 



It is not how long but how well we live. 

Milk that has become sour may be sweetened or rend- 
ered tit for use again by stirring in a little soda. 

Better a little in peace and with right, than much with 
anxiety and strife. 

You may take the greatest trouble, and by turning it 
around, find joys on the other side. 

No one is a fool always, every one sometimes. 

For age and want save while you may, 
No morning sun lasts all the day. 

Work to-day for you know not how much you may be 
hindered to-morrow. 

Always taking out of the meal tub and never putting in, 
soon comes to the bottom. 

When the well is dry, they know the worth of water. 

Cabbage ( whole head and hard ) should be cooked two 
hours. 

Buy what you have no need of and ere long you will sell 
your necessaries. 

There are no gains without pains."
